DICK CHENEY'S HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR: THE LAST HUZZAH!
Two Shows--One Night Only!--December 16th, 7 & 9pm
"as savvy as they are hilarious" -- The Village Voice
Billionaires For Bush and Heart of Gold Productions will present The Billionaire Follies in DICK CHENEY'S HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR: THE LAST HUZZAH! This two-show, one-night-only extravaganza comes to the stage on Sunday, December 16th, at Ace of Clubs in Manhattan.
It's the Bush crew's last holiday season in the White House, and they're bringing an all new meaning to the phrase "Christmas loot." Come on down to Cheney's lavish bunker, and join the sparkling and irrepressible Billionaire Follies for one last year-end toast to plutocracy. Packed with Dick's favorite carols, this twisted holiday review features Toys for the World (Are Made by Kids), The Halliburton Chorus, and a visit to the island of misfit Republicans. Celebrate with the Billionaires at their fabulous holiday party, and you may even leave with a little White House loot of your own!
The creative team includes Billionaire Follies Artistic Director Melody Bates ("Ivy League-Legacy"), resident director Mahayana Landowne ("Bella de Ball"), and choreographer DJ McDonald ("Seamus Lee Rich"). The writing team is headed by Melody Bates and David Bennett.
The Billionaire Follies are the performing wing of Billionaires For Bush, celebrating George W. Bush and the emerging plutocracy in song and sketch. The Follies have performed everywhere from the National Press Club (where Al Franken opened for them) to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the Million Worker March, to venues including Webster Hall, Spirit, and The Slipper Room in New York City. They have sung live on FuseTV, as well as on Air America's Majority Report, WBAI, and WNYE. Past shows include Spring Bling! Summer in the Hummer and Dick Cheney's Holiday Spectacular 2004-2006.
Billionaires For Bush is a national do-it-yourself grassroots media campaign using humor and street theatre to expose politicians who support corporate interests at the expense of everyday Americans. Armed with witty satirical messaging, high production values, and culture-jamming actions, they are part of the progressive movement's advance guard, striving to effect change for the better in this country.
